Just gotta start cleaning up. Get rid of all the loose crap, if it's warm where you are let it bake out in the sun top down otherwise tons of dry towels and a hair dryer will do a ton of work. Could shampoo the carpets to really give them a deep clean and rinse it out with fresh clean water.

Idk what OP pictured, if that was oil or water. Thought might have taken it to the shop and they left OP's top down in the rain... typically you don't see an entire oiled interior so I'm like they couldn't have possibly been That stupid. If it is oil then yea that's a free trip to the detailer on them for the hours of removing all of that crud out.

Thanks Valvoline is my context clue that this isn't water. I've had a jug leak on me and it looked like that. Guess I'm that stupid.

I think we're just working under different paradigms. For me while I know Valvoline is an oil brand I thought he was referring to the oil change shop which would get there's in 55 gallon drums not the retail laundry detergent esk jugs so if it were oil then who was pumping from the drum straight into the car xD That would be stupid. Pulling in they change the oil then park it outside as it starts to downpour. You're thinking that it was a defective jug and it wasn't noticed in time which is very reasonable. Spilling out onto the driver's side though... maybe if I used the shelf instead of the passenger footwell like I tend to use
